DJ Waldow is a homeowner and first time home seller from Durham, North Carolina who is selling his home at 11 Linganore Place, Durham NC 27707 by using Twitter and Trulia.com……

Here’s the back story:

I met DJ on Twitter back in February……

DJWaldow sent me a tweet on Twitter telling me that he found his real estate agent on Trulia Voices.

We later talked on the phone where I learned more about his story…..

DJ searched Google for real estate agents and saw Trulia for the 1st time. He liked the look of the site, did some searches and set up some alerts. He asked 4 questions on Trulia Voices, our real estate Q&A community and one local realtor, Michael Colvin,  answered 3 of them promptly and professionally – without the hard sell. DJ told me he liked the way the agent presented himself. This was what helped him make his decision when choosing his real estate agent. He emailed him through the agents profile. They set up a face to face meeting and hit it off.

He is also using Trulia to do his search for their new home in Salt Lake City.

Thus far, DJ has been using all his resources to help find a home buyer for his home. Local and mainstream media have also picked up the story as can be seen on MSNBC.

And by Anderson Cooper on CNN:

And by Durham MYNC:

DJ also shared his story on his Trulia Blog.

It’s been an amazing social media consumer experience thus far. DJ has leveraged today’s web 2.0 technology tools, Trulia’s real estate community and Twitter’s social networking platform and community to help him find his real estate agent and to spread the word about his home for sale. Let’s hope that a happy home buyer will find DJ’s home soon.

It’s been an absolute pleasure for Trulia to help DJ and his agent Michael get exposure for the home.

Thank you!
